Here at Harmony, our mission is to cultivate self-directed, confident learners. By combining targeted executive functioning support with integrative project coaching, we guide students in discovering their passions and building habits for lifelong success!

The Foundations for Lifelong Learning 🏠  

Throughout the course of my career, I gradually came to the realization that when a student struggles academically, the core issue is rarely a lack of capability. Often times, academic struggle stems from a gap in executive functioning abilities. So many learners struggle with task initiation, time management, organization, and emotional regulation, and a deficit in these skills greatly affect ones ability to learn and move through life. Executive functioning skills are the scaffolding supporting all successful learning. Traditional schools expect these skills to develop automatically, but these abilities are not at all innate, especially for those that are neurodiverse.

Harmony's primary focus is on serving home educated middle and high school students. Many executive function coaching programs focus on teaching students how to fit neatly into the public education box. Harmony, on the other hand, strives to give learners the skills they need to forge their own paths, and truly take charge of their education. 

Key Executive Functioning Skills We Build Together

• 💾 Working Memory: Working memory helps learners retain multistep directions and complex ideas while processing them. In our virtual sessions, we support this by creating interactive task boards, tracking goals, and organizing assignments so students don't have to carry the mental load alone. During our project work, we will use visual tools to map out multi-step research and manage project resources without feeling overwhelmed.

• 🧠Cognitive Flexibility: Cognitive flexibility enables students to adapt when plans shift and try new approaches when stuck. Through decision making frameworks and problem-solving activities, I help middle schoolers learn to pivot smoothly when a strategy isn't working. During their self-chosen projects, unexpected roadblocks become opportunities to build resilience and practice refining plans.

• 😌 Inhibition Control: Inhibition control empowers learners to resist distraction, overcome procrastination, and stay focused on hard tasks. To improve inhibition control, we discuss screen-management habits, create custom focus timers, and practice emotional regulation techniques. Through their passion projects, students will practice tuning out short-term distractions to achieve a creative goal that truly matters to them.
